CoronationInauguration
Notes

The perfect model for our national
ceremony in January. There's even a reference to Obama ("a bomb
a...") exactly 2 minutes in.

BREAD
AND CIRCUSES. Yes, it's getting hard to contain our national
excitement.
There's even a move afoot to make a national holiday out of
Obama's birthdayelection dayinauguration day
favorite day. Fortunately, though, he's not getting distracted from the
work at hand. According to his aides, he'll be ready to assume power.:

As
we'd all hoped, The One will be "ready to rule" on Day One.

The job of preparing appropriate means of celebrating this
world-changing event has been delegated to able underlings who, we're
told, have some outstanding plans for commemorating the occasion. For
example, who won't be looking forward to the race around the Washington
Mall?

And the triumphant parade afterward, when the victor will personally
receive his prize from the One? Glorious.

Meanwhile, more durable monuments to the relaunching of westen
civilization are also already in progress. Christopher
Buckley and Maya
Angelou are both working on poems, and the first Obama
administration
public works project has completed dynamiting the face of the
slaveholder Jefferson to make way for a new centerpiece on Mount
Rushmore.

And planning for the party after the anointing is going well, too. We
hear Emeril is going to build the world's biggest ever arugula salad
(w/oil and vinegar dressing served in individual cups) to be
accompanied by the world's longest ever phallus
loaf of French bread. Kind of an Obammunion for us grateful masses.
It's all good. Trust us. We're all going to be soooooo happy.
